Getting Outdoors

The best hikes and nature walks in the Pacific Rim area.
The Wild Pacific Trail is only a short walk from the apartment. A light nature stroll, it takes you through the forest and along the coast, and it is easily one of Ucluelet's most serene offerings. Two recommended trails are the Lighthouse Loop (45 min) and the trail from Brown's Beach to Rocky Bluffs and back (1.5 hr).

Big Beach is a perfect spot for a morning walk or an evening bonfire. Our favourite activity is picking up firewood from Murray's Grocery and heading to Big Beach to roast s'mores and watch the sunset.

Only a 10-minute drive from Ucluelet, Wick is a beautiful beach for a long walk on the shoreline. Want to surf instead? Grab your board and enjoy the waves!

This is awesome. You can hike for ~1 hour and see an abandoned plane crash on the way to Tofino! Aside from the crash being a cool stop, the hike is gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Cafes & Bakeries

Great coffee, delicious pastries, and hearty lunch options for both vegans and carnivores! Zoë's is a local favourite only steps from the apartment, and it's one of the most popular spots in town. Equally perfect for an early-morning coffee or an early-afternoon brunch.
